Share

Ok i had my daughter 6 almost 7 weeks ago and i started my first period. Im cramping so bad and its a really heavy flow. My periods were never like this before i would have cramps befor just not this bad. Why is this period so bad? And are they all gonna be like this for now on?

It all depends on your body, some women do experience irregular, heavy, and/or painful periods, so it is different for every women. You won't know if they will be like this in the future until you have another period, but if they continue to be heavy with painful cramping, there could be another underlying problem and I suggest speaking with your doctor about it.

I started my period about 5 1/2 weeks after having my son. The first two days were normal but after that i started bleeding a lot more. Now i can just stand up and i feel the blood flowing. I was worried until reading these comments but i am still a little worried bc before i had him my periods would last like 4 days and i am now on day 10 and there are no signs of stopping soon!!!!

My son is 5 weeks old and i started my period 3 days ago. I had about 3 periods a year before i got pregnant so having one so quickly is very unusual. Plus I am breastfeeding. I started birth control about a week ago. My period if very heavy. Bright red and lots of clots. Ive been wearing a pad since i gave birth. When is this going to be over!!!
Breastfeeding, Bleeding, and cramping.. when does it stop.. haha

My baby girl is 6 weeks old now & my period started 3 days ago. The first 2 days weren't so bad, but today it's heavier =(. I can feel the blood flowing, Yuck! I'm guessing it's normal for now since we're all going through it. I just hope it ends soon for us all! I had a c-section, how many of you ladies also had a c-section?

My daughter is 8 weeks old and i started last week and it started out light and now for the last few days its been REALLY heavy, dark red, bad cramping and lots of huge clots and like many others every time i move or stand up i feel it just pour out. I delivered my baby by c section. I had to break out the huge pads they gave me at the hospital, i didn't even need them right after i had her because i didn't bleed that much. From what i'm reading sounds normal for your first period after baby. It scared me i know that!! Hopefully its over soon.

I was freaking out until i saw that i wasnt the only one going through this, i had a c session too and i got my period 3 days ago and my daughter just turned 4 weeks i started light then like a volcano i erupted with super heavy flows and clots im glad in not alone.
